Dear Supporters:

It has been confirmed that the recording of opening statements is a pre-trial decision. The defense attorney/public defender had to pre-approve the recording of the opening statements prior to the trial.

In 2008, Hugh Hadden did not approve the recording of the opening statements. Hugh Hadden also knew that prosecutors were going for capital punishment sentencing, and he still didn't approve the recording of opening statements.

In fact, there were other unreported conference (s) between Hugh  Hadden, Ashley Wright, and Judge Blanchard during the trial to expedite the movement of the trial.

The trial for 2007RccR00181 had one agenda:  to end in capital punishment by any means necessary and be finished in time for the promotion ceremony already on the calendar.

The Constitution of the United States requires due process for capital punishment sentencing.

This good fight is not over. Thank you for your continued support.
